THE CITIZEN WILLIAM C. NEGLEY ~ - Publisher THURSDAY. DECEMBER 14, i*99- fr 5 ——— The County Centennial. The late County Convention of Nov. 21, ult , directed its Chairman to ap point an Executive Committee of 1">. which should formulate a programe and have general charge of the arrange ments for the coming County Centennial Celebration. Below will be found the Committee appointed in pursuance of the directions of the County Contention J. D McJnnkin. Esq William Campbell. Jr. Newton Black. Esq John Humphrey, ESQ C. N. Boyd, Andrew W. McCnllsugh, J. C. Vanderlin, Esq Wm. G. Douthett. John Mitchell, Esq. R. C. McAboy, ESq. Kennedy Marshall, Esq. Jcs. B. Bredin, Esq Jos. B. Mechling, Esq. P W. Lowry, Esq. Frank Kohler, Esq. J. H. NEGLEY, Chairman. The aboye Committee will meet at the office of the Chairman on Friday evening, coming Dec. 15. at 7;:50oclock. It will have different Committees to »p point. But the most important one we presume will be the Finance Commit tee. On the success of the Financial Committee will largely depend the ex tent of the preparations for the Centen nial and the extent of its exercises. It is therefore deemed of the first import ance to ascertain where the necessary funds are to come from, and how raided, and how much The old saying of 'cut your coat according to your cloth, will apply to this Centennial. This will be the work of the Finance Committee that will be appointed at above meeting of the Executive Committee. Other Committees will be appointed, such as, Parade and Procession, Relics, Decora tion of Streets, etc., Place of Meeting. Amusements, Music, Speakers and Speaking, Invitations and Receptions, etc. But until the Finance Committee makes report none of these will be an nounced. WASHINGTON NOTES. On Thursday the Senate Committee in Privileges and Elections announced it would not take np the Quay case un til Saturday the 16th. and Quay's friends sent to Florida for him. Brigham H. Roberts issued a long ad dress to the American people in which he denies the charges made against him, and cays his rejection as a Member of the House establishes a dangerous pre cedent. The affidavits laid before the special committee appointed to investigate the case of Brigham H. Roberts last week, recited very plainly the facts which are matters of common knowledge in Utah as to his polygamous relations. On Monday Rep.Showalter introduc a bill appropaiating |loo,ooofor a pub lic building at New Castle. He also in troduced the following bills: To pay SIOO to John M.Turner, of Butler, being money due him for bounty on certain Union Soldiers;to pay Peter FennelliJ3oo for commutation money paid by him to correct the military record of John 15.

THE AFRICAN WAIt. During the latter part of last week the Boers were still "pounding Lady smith." They had mounted a new and big gun on a neighboring hill and were shelling the English camp Some of the English guns had been hit and ruin ed, and the garrison was expecting an assault. In London news of battles at both Ladysmith and Kimberly was anx ionsly awaited, and there were reports of more fighting near the Modder river The Boers claimed to have Methnen cut off from his base of supplies, and also that the British had murdered helpless men after the battle of Modder river. On Sunday the British war office re ceived word from Gen. Gatacre, com manding the British in Cape ('olony, near the southern border ot the < )r«nge Free State, of his unsucce> still attempt to capture Storm berg, and his loss of •KtO men. Me seems to have been de ceived by false reports into marching into a trap where he was flanked and driven from one position after another until he beat a hasty retreat to his camp at Molteno. Reports from Petoria. Tuesday morn ing, put the number of British prisoners taken at Storm berg at <572; and three pieces of field artillery. In England great humiliation was felt over this, third, defeat. In the two months since the Transvaal ultimatum was delivered nine engagements have been fought and , the British have lost r»«fi killed, 027 wounded and 1,977 missing or prisoners In Berlin there was rejoicing over the news. On Sunday night the British made a sortie from Ladvsmith and captured one howitzer on the top of a neighbor ing hill, but on the way back were at tacked by the Boers and lost <l2 men. Mat ties were expected at both the Tngela and Modder rivers. On Monday Gen. Methnen attacked the Boers in a fortified position altout four miles north of the Modder river, and was again repulsed, with a reported loss of 500 men. POLITICAL. William H.

At Washington Monday, Quay was said to lack four votes t>f having a ma jority for confirmation. In an address to the Republicans of the state issued Tuesday, and signed by some eighteen prominent men Gov Stone is critized as follows: ' The peo pie of Pennsylvania have recently wit nessed the deliberate violation of the fundamental law, notably in the Kxecu tive veto of the joint resolution submit ting to the people a constitutional amendment for the protection of the suffrage, and the unwarranted veto of a part of the item appropriating money to the public schools, by the letter of which public education wa sacrificed to unworthy and selfish ends: the nulli fication of the Constitution and the vi olation of all precedent, in the np|>oint ment to a seat ill the United States Sen ate of an aspirant rejected by the re presentatives of the is-ople in legislative council, the infamoa» work of briber*, seeking to debauch the Legislature to satisfy .[against the people M will individ nal lust for office; the adopting of State platforms, promising reforms which the party and people have been demanding tor years, only to be broken when the necessities of their framers demanded, and the perversion of public moneys to private use.
